Application filed May 16, 1917.

To all (U/LOH), it may (zouoern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD T. liounus. a citizen of the United States. residing at Lockhart. in the county of (I aldwell and State of TeXas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Collars, o'l. which the following is a specification.

The invention consists in a turned down collar provided with a tab at the lower edge and back of the outer told and to fit within the upper edge of a vest at the back and thereby prevent the vest from getting in under the outer tt'old oi the collar as hereinafter described and. claimed.

band or inner fold 1 and the usual outer fold '2. In accordance with my invention I provide a tab 3 which is here shown as segmental in shape but which may be of any suitable shape and may be of any suitable size. Preferably the tab is constructed of the same kind of material as the collar. The tab is united at its upper side to the lower portion of the outer fold of the collar, at the back, and extends down between the shirt of the wearer and the neck of the vest, at the back, and serves to prevent the vest from getting in under the outer fold of the collar and making an unsightly appearance. The collar thus constructed is especially adapted to be worn by persons Who go Without a coat but who retain the vest.

Having thus described my invention, I claim A turned down collar having a continuous segmental tab at the back of the outer fold and extending downwardly therefrom, said tab being spaced from the ends of the collar and arranged With its broadest portion midway between the ends of the collar.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

RICHARD T. RQGERS.
